The accident involving three cars; a Hyundai Urvan mini-bus with registration number GT -6794- 12, an unregistered Chevrolet saloon car with number plate DV-1423A and a red Sprinter bus, happened right in front of the Osino Police Station when personnel from the Koforidua MTTD were inspecting roadworthy certificates and license of drivers.

According to eyewitnesses, officers from the Koforidua MTTD with registration number GP 3141 caused the accident when they made the driver of the Hyundai Urvan mini-bus park on the shoulders of the road for inspection, blocking free movement of vehicles.
